The Google conversation

March 26, 2013 by Hayley Leave a Comment

Google plays a big role in everyday life for many, but never did I realize just how much some might actually rely on it. I arrived at a restaurant in Moscow where I was greeted by a group of Russians that wanted to befriend us. They bought us shots of Russian vodka (tradition over there) […]

A memorable metro

March 24, 2013 by Hayley 4 Comments

A few days before I took off for Russia I Tweeted asking for recommendations/must see’s while I was away. I expected to be told to visit the Kremlin, Red Square and the Hermitage, but what I didn’t expect was to be told to use the metro. ‘You must visit a metro station in Moscow’ ‘Make […]

The Search for Fur

March 18, 2013 by Hayley 2 Comments

I’ve never really had an interest in buying fur products, in fact quite the opposite. However my recent trip to Russia sparked my curiosity in the luxuriously soft material. Everywhere I glanced I was greeted with sights of fur. Black, brown, white, stripy, spotty, I saw it all. Women would elegantly stride past me flaunting […]

A random space rocket….

March 5, 2013 by Hayley Leave a Comment

When I planned my trip to Russia I never once considered that I might see a space rocket. I knew the Russian’s were big on space travel, but to be honest, I never even gave it a thought. However, I was randomly walking down the street and there it was… a real life space rocket!!! […]

Why Butterflies?

They thought I wouldn't finish college. I did a PhD.

They thought I wouldn't get fit. I climbed a mountain.

They thought I'd never leave home. I travelled the world.

Just like a butterfly, I exchanged an ugly life where I felt restrained and grounded for one more adventurous, inspirational and beautiful.

I learned to fly.
